Has studying psychology affected your personality? If so, how has it changed? #Spring25?

For those working in healthcare, in fields like medicine, pharmacy, and optometry. How do you know when it’s time to make a pivot in your career, and what do think are the most appropriate steps to take?

If so, what have you done to overcome or avoid this?

Why are so many CPA's not actively using their license after spending all the effort to acquire it? #Spring25

It poses a serious question of whether accounting is still a valid career in 2025. To acquire a CPA license and not use it would just tarnish its name, would it not?
